Chapter 13

The incident of Uchiha Madara's departure shocked the entire Konoha. As a result the recruitment of disciples was delayed and no one continued to practice in Konoha Academy. They returned to the clan one after another waiting for the Hokage to deal with this matter.

　　 Since the separation that day Masaki has not seen Kagami again. Hearing from other people, Kagami seems to be implicated and he may lose his identity as the heir to the patriarch at any time. Although I believe that Kagami who will become a disciple will not have a major event, but as to whether Kagami can keep the position of the patriarch Masaki is not so confident. After all is not mentioned in the comics whether the Kagami succeeded the patriarch.

As the representative of the Kazemori clan Masaki personally participated in the whole process of the Village meeting. Although he did not have any right to speak just watching from the side, he knew that Hokage the leader of the Village could not interfere. Decisions within the clan are the basis for ensuring mutual trust. Therefore whether Kagami can inherit the Uchiha clan can only be decided within the Uchiha clan.

Masaki can only pray that those who support Kagami within the Uchiha clan can overwhelm the other side. Kagami has been heir for many years. He has a gentle temperament and it is impossible to have no supporter. It's not through Uchiha Madara's thing that no one can pull him off.

　　Before the matter was over Masaki also lost his mind to practice and spent the whole day with Rimi at home and the two of them had a few days of leisure.

Although she is a member of the Senju clan Rimi was very young. After the Hokage inherited the position of the patriarch she was forbidden to let children participate in the war. Therefore she has never fought with the Uchiha clan, let alone have any deep hatred, just due to the influence of the clan she have a bad impression of the Uchiha clan.

　　 And Masaki has no prejudice against Kagami. In talking with Rimi she felt that Kagami is a good person. She also expressed concern about the trouble Kagami is facing.

Masaki said: "It can only be seen what action Hashirama-sama will take. Back then the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan shook hands and made peace. The relationship between the two should have eased, but with Uchiha Madara left the results almost disappeared."

　　 "What the hell is he thinking? He was the one who reconciled with the clan back then but he was also the one who resisted the clan after the establishment of the village." Rimi was puzzled by Uchiha Madara's performance.

Masaki was silent for a while and said: "It should be said that his personality is not right. He was moved by Hashirama-sama before, he was willing to shake hands with the Senju clan. But his philosophy is too far apart from Hashirama-sama. A momentary touch cannot eliminate the conflicts between each other, I am afraid that no matter what it will be where it is today.

Masaki knew that Uchiha Madara was confounded by the stele tampered with by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's son Indra, but in the final analysis it was because of Uchiha Madara's personal character, if he has a good understanding of peace, how can he deceived by the stone tablet?

　　 Hashirama believes that peace cannot be achieved overnight. Even if their generation fails the next generation will inherit their ideals. This will be passed on from generation to generation and peace will eventually be realized. But Uchiha Madara didn't believe this, he had already lost faith in reality and he just wanted to choose a path that would be done once and for all.

Masaki does not comment on whether Uchiha Madara's idea is correct or not. He does not have the right to comment on Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara's life has been much longer than him. He never seen the reality that Uchiha Madara has seen, so he can't make a judgment.

　　 However just to discuss whether the reading of Infinite Tsukyomi is correct Masaki can say that it is wrong without hesitation. If there is no conspiracy behind it he can't judge whether it is really suitable for this world. But since Infinite Tsukyomi will turn people into nothingness and there will be the shadow of the resurrection of the Kaguya behind it then he must oppose it.

　　 Hearing Masaki's words, Rimi also understood the reason Uchiha Madara chose to leave the village and said in a low voice "I hope Lord Hokage can handle it properly. I don't want Konoha to disappear like this."

　　 "Don't worry it definitely won't." Masaki held Rimi's hand and said with a smile. He never doubted this matter from beginning to end.

　　 Just a few days later the first generation of Hokage Hashirama invited every Shinobi clan leader to a high-level meeting. Everyone knew that Hashirama was going to express his attitude and this would also determine what will happen to Konoha in the future.

　　 So every Shinobi clan leader came to the Hokage Tower and came to the room dedicated to holding meetings of the whole village. Masaki was also the head of the Kazemori clan so he also came here.

However Patriarch Kazemori clan did not have a high status and his position in the room was quite back. Masaki didn't say anything. He sat in his own position and didn't talk to other people. Patriarchs are all around 30 years old and Masaki has no friendship with them.

it's not that there are no peers at all. Masaki saw that Kagami was sitting there in the position that belonged to the Uchiha clan. He was the Uchiha clan heir before the status of Kagami was officially abolished.

　　Kagami noticed Kazemori's gaze and nodded at him with a smile. Masaki was clear. Seeing Kagami's appearance there is no need to worry about this.

When everyone was seated the Hashirama and the Tobirama also walked into the room. Tobirama came to the position representing the Senju clan and the Hashirama came to the position of Hokage. This is to show that the Hashirama is not a representative The Senju clan, presided over as the leader of the whole village.

The Hokage slowly swept past the patrons present. First of all Uchiha Madara did not betray the village but chose to leave. Regardless of whether other people believed it or not whether they felt the way the Hokage felt about Uchiha Madara ran. The nature of it is given. Hashirama talked about some rumors circulating in these days and said very angrily that these were nonsense. There were only some misunderstandings between the Uchiha clan and the village, and there was never any deep contradiction. Those rumors were simply nonsense.

　　 Kagami stands up at this time and admits the statement of the Hokage saying that the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan have always been friends. No matter what the Uchiha clan is part of the Konoha and will never be separated.

Immediately afterwards Tobirama also announced that he would accept Kagami as a disciple. As soon as this statement was made stormy waves were set off in the heart of every Patriarch. The disciple is equivalent to the inheritor of Master and belongs to absolute cronies. When he said this in front of everyone he wanted to say that the covenant between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan has always been strong.

This was not over yet and Hashirama immediately said that he was going to betroth his young daughter to Kagami as his wife. After Uchiha Madara left the person who could prevent the Senju clan from marrying the Uchiha clan ceased to exist. Relationship between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan can be brought closer without any pressure.

　　 However Kagami turned down the Hokage, because he had made a marriage appointment under the witness of Uchiha Madara. Although Kagami could cancel the marriage at any time, but Kagami thought he was still necessary to abide by the agreement and not to hurt the girl's heart, and also the age difference between the young Senju girl and Kagami is not small which is not good for public opinion.

　　 Hashirama also knows that Kagami has been engaged but Uchiha Madara's departure has hit him too much and he can't wait to make the clan relationship more stable. Marriage is undoubtedly the best method. However Kagami rejected himself in front of other Patriarchs. After a little calm he also felt that he was too impatient. At the same time he admired Kagami can facing the powerful Senju clan especially himself. Not everyone can maintain his loyalty to his marriage. This young man is really good.

　　 The Hokage nodded and praised Kagami a few words. At the same time he hoped that Kagami would inherit the position of Patriarch as early as possible. After all Uchiha can't live without a Patriarch for a day.

　　 The purpose of what he said is to add leverage to Kagami. Although Hokage cannot interfere in clan affairs, relying on his own influence, it can also allow some vacillating people in the Uchiha clan to make correct judgments. After all Hokage can personally express the hope that the patriarch of the Uchiha clan is Kagami and having Uchiha Madara's personal heir status will not make people think that Hokage is interfering with the clan. Those who support Kagami will also get it. With a guarantee they believe that their faction within the clan can overwhelm the opposition.

Hearing this Masaki breathed a sigh of relief. As a result the village's crisis of trust was lifted and Kagami also received an important guarantee. It is basically certain that Kagami can inherit the position of the patriarch clan safely and steadily.
